Which one is for you
Pick Bubble if
- Fits if you're building a full web app or a marketplace and don't write code
- Works for projects that need web, iPhone and Android apps on one shared backend
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're just starting, at $32 a month billed annually ($39 monthly) before your app can go live, and $59 for web and mobile
- Not for you if you build with a partner, as Free and Starter don't support collaborators; Growth at $119 allows 2
- Skip it if you want a trial with no card, since the 14-day one takes a $1 pre-authorization
- Watch out: each plan has a workload allowance, and going over means buying a tier or paying overages
- Tight if you run several projects, because plans are bought per project
Pick FlutterFlow if
- Fits if you want a native mobile app without hand-writing it
- Makes sense if one person builds and a few testers try it
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 2 projects, 1 editor and no branches
- Pricey if you add people: extra seats are $55 on Pro and $85 on Max at monthly billing
- Watch out: AI usage is a shared allowance shown as a percentage, with refills on Pro and Max only
- Watch out: real-time collaboration needs Pro at $60 a month billed yearly
How we grade them
| 2.2GPABubbleFair | 2.4GPAFlutterFlowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DStarter is $32 a month billed annually for web only ($39 monthly), $42 mobile only, $59 for both. That puts it in the dearest tenth of builders here, which starts at $30, against a $19 middle. You pay per project, a second editor means Growth at $119, and workload overages sit on top of all that. | C$29 a month billed yearly for Basic is at the dear end of the category's $16 to $25 range. Collaboration and branches need Pro at $60. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere is a free plan and it never expires, with 50K workload units a month and both the web and mobile editors. But it's the development version: a live site, your own domain and an app-store release all need paying for. The 14-day Starter trial takes a $1 card pre-authorization too. | CFree: 2 projects, 1 editor, main branch only and a small AI allowance. You'll hit the project cap quickly. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job. AI drafts an app with a database and workflows, an in-editor Agent knows your pages and privacy rules and explains why something failed, and you keep visual control of design, logic and data. Native phone apps share the web backend. Branch version control needs Growth, so B. | BVisual builder, a describe-to-build agent, store submission tracking, Firebase and Supabase, GitHub and a VS Code extension. The listing shows no gap in core app building. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and this is the steepest climb in the group. AI hands you a first version, then you're designing screens, defining custom events and workflows and setting privacy rules by hand in a visual editor. That's a real learning curve. | CNo store rating on record. A web builder with a visual logic builder and state management, so there's a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | BThe editor is a web app, with nothing to build in on desktop or phone. What it produces runs on the web and as native iPhone and Android apps on one shared backend. Plugins cover Stripe, Slack, Airtable and Zapier, and the API Connector is on the Free plan too. | BWeb editor that ships to iOS, Android and web, with Firebase, Supabase, GitHub, Figma and three AI vendors connected. |
| Best for | visual control over an app's logic and data | visual builder for iOS, Android and web apps |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
